Yes. In ClassWallet, use Direct Pay (the “Pay” tab, with your receipt or invoice) or shop the ClassWallet Marketplace with the “Start Shopping” tab.

Is this a sales call?
It isn’t. Choosing an education for your child is a deeply personal decision, and our goal is to help you find the right path, not to push you toward a particular one. Our consultants are here to listen, ask good questions, and give you honest guidance.
